President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has held a brief meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French leader Emmanuel Macron ahead of the "coalition of the willing," Sky News reports.

The meeting took place at the Elysee Palace before the start of broader talks that will take place later, during the “coalition of the willing” meeting.

As Sky News reminds, the meeting will be attended by delegations and leaders of 31 countries. The meeting will be chaired by Macron and Starmer.

No other details of the talks between Zelenskyy, Macron, and Starmer have been disclosed.

"Coalition of the willing"

On March 2, Starmer said that the United Kingdom and France would work with Ukraine to present a peace plan to the United States. According to him, one or two other countries may also join this work.

On March 15, the UK Prime Minister held an online meeting of a “coalition of the willing” of about 25 world leaders who supported peace in Ukraine. Zelenskyy also took part in the meeting.

Le Monde, in turn, wrote that the Ukrainian President would visit France on March 26 to prepare for a security summit.
